Here and Nowhere Else

This is a continuation of Attack On Memory. It's loud, visceral and yet tuneful. The drums and guitar are loud in the mix, especially the drums. The vocals are buried in the mix. Dylan Baldi's singing and songwriting are top-notch. Under a guise of noise and fuzzed out guitar, the melody of each song comes through. The closer I'm Not Part Of Me is an excellent song, easily the most accessible song on the album.

Found this album from Pitchfork. I've only given it a couple of spins, but already I love it. Great hooks, but with a good raw sound. Gets you fired up the whole album through. Check this album out.

I discovered Cloud Nothings entirely by accident. Attack on Memory appeared on a list of the best records produced by Steve Albini, and I gave it a try. It rocked my world; I had never heard anything quite like it. Here & Nowhere Else gives me the same feeling. It is truly a sequel to AoM, and I mean that in the best, "Empire Strikes Back" kind of way. It's loud and beautiful.

This album is the perfect followup to AoM. It's fantastic, it's beautiful, it's exciting, and it moves at a breakneck pace that serves as an immense change from the slow, tense, drawn-out moments of its predecessor. The last album was a dark, nihilistic, brooding, but incredibly satisfying record, the soundtrack to a mental breakdown, and this is the aftermath, the excited, inspired, life-affirming catharsis that follows the struggles of the past. Last album was all about struggling to forgetting the past, but this is the total opposite. Baldi accepts the past, the pain he's gone through, but he "can't recall how I was those days anymore". His frame of mind has shifted, and so has the music. This is the beautiful twin of Attack on Memory, and it'll hopefully go down with the same fantastic legacy as AoM as well. Musical perfection.
